Book ID/图书代码： 09653014B72298

English Summary/英文概要： One of my earliest memories is of a warm day, a field with many grasshoppers, a shallow creek with cold water, and the joy of a day in the hills with my parents. My dad had gone fishing and I was free to wander about nearby. It was summer in the Gray Pines foothills of the Sierra Nevada, near Chico, California, where I was born. Along the creek I found a turtle! I had hoped someday to have one as a pet. I ran with the wondrous creature cradled in my hands to show my mom. I was enthralled with its bright eyes, the feel of its claws, and its cold body as it struggled to free itself from my grasp. So began a lifetime of connecting with nature.

And so begins this amazing book an irresistible story of how one child fell in love with nature and your students can, too. Taking what he calls a nature-centered worldview, author Robert Stebbins blends activities, examples, and stories with his perspectives on the importance of dealing objectively yet compassionately with social and environmental problems. As thought-provoking as it is charming, Connecting With Nature includes: discussions of ecological illiteracy and the impediments that keep people, young and old, from bonding with nature; recommendations for establishing a nature-centered educational program and encouraging interest in nature at home; advice on doing accurate observations and field reports and understanding natural selection; and a captivating array of activities to capture the attention of students of all ages: imitating animal sounds, quieting lizards, tracking animals, photographing birds, and playing hide and seek with owl calls. Even a quick glance through Connecting With Nature will make you wish you could give your students the joy of a day in the hills with the author. Failing that, you can use his book to instill a love of nature in your students and rekindle it in yourself.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我最早的记忆之一是温暖的一天，有许多蚱蜢的田野，冰凉的浅溪，与我的父母在山上度过了欢乐的一天。我爸爸去钓鱼，我自由地徜徉在附近。那是在靠近我出生的加利福尼亚奇科的内华达山脉的灰色松树山麓的夏天。在小溪边我发现了一只乌龟！我希望有一天有一只乌龟作为宠物。我将奇妙的生物双手抱着给我妈妈看。我被它明亮的眼睛，它爪子的感觉迷住了，它冰冷的身体正挣扎着逃离我的手。希望就这样一辈子和自然在一起。
